In the run-up to February 23, we are all concerned aboutwhat to give our men on this wonderful holiday. But do not forget that in addition to adult men, boys - future defenders of the fatherland - are also waiting for our gifts. They, just like their older comrades, hope that on this wonderful day they will not be left without signs of attention. And if it is not so difficult to choose a gift for an adult man (we have already gotten used to coping with this task every year), then with boys everything is much more difficult: try to please these inquisitive, cheerful, mischievous guys! Moreover, this gift should at least slightly reflect the theme of the holiday itself, otherwise the child simply will not be imbued with the importance and significance of this wonderful day. So, what do we expect from future heroes? Not military exploits at all - God willing, that there will never be a need for this. From the young defenders of the fatherland, we expect that they grow up strong, dexterous, smart and skillful. And if so, then the gift should be such as to help develop these qualities in our boys. When thinking about a gift, you must take into account the character and wishes of the child himself, otherwise you will not see joy in the eyes from the gift. So, what to give a boy on February 23, so that the gift is both pleasant and useful?
To be strong and agile
They will be very useful for any boygifts that can develop in , dexterity and accuracy. In order to please the child, you should go to a sporting goods store and take a closer look at the following things: Balls Activities with a ball are not just entertainment, but also excellent physical and emotional development for the child as a whole. Playing with a ball, the child develops motor activity, concentration, coordination. You can buy either a regular rubber ball or a ball for football, volleyball, basketball. Everything depends on the age of the child, the level of his physical development and personal preferences. Many boys chasing an old, dirty ball around the yard will be incredibly happy if you present a high-quality, beautiful, new ball as a gift. Dumbbells Boys who have reached the age of seven can be given dumbbells. If your child is already accustomed to physical activity, enjoys doing exercises in the morning and loves physical education lessons, then you will not find a better gift. Thanks to exercises with dumbbells, the child's musculoskeletal system is strengthened, and this is very important for his health. However, be careful: you should not buy your child too heavy dumbbells if he is still too young. At primary school age, children's skeletal bones are actively forming, and excessive weights can harm them. Expander Do you want your boy to become stronger? An expander is a great way to develop his muscles without resorting to expensive exercise machines. With its help, you can train the muscles of the legs, back, chest and arms. Any teenage boy dreams of surpassing his peers in muscle definition and physical strength. Give him an expander, and after persistent training, his dream will come true. Yo-yo What is a yo-yo? This is an old toy that has found a "new life" in our time. It looks like this: 2 plastic halves are connected by a bearing, on which a rope is attached. The whole construction weighs about 60-65 grams, so even the smallest boy can learn to control it. You can do a lot of tricks with a yo-yo, because when you rotate the rope, the balls spin and "make" funny figures. The ability to play yo-yo will not add physical strength to a child, but it will perfectly develop dexterity, fine motor skills, and memory.
To be smart
Of course, it's good when a boy grows upstrong and agile, but we all want our child to be smart too. To get only good grades at school, to be quicker than everyone else in thinking and grasping everything “on the fly”. So, what can you give a boy who wants to develop his mental abilities on February 23? Board puzzle games The best way to tear a boy away from the computer and teach him to think logically is to give him an interesting puzzle game for the holiday. Nowadays, any children's goods store is full of educational toys that are designed to accomplish this task. Games where you need to make words by adding letters to the existing ones; games where you need to rearrange the figures in a special order - so that each of them fits on the playing field. In a word, there are a lot of options. And another important plus of such games is that the whole family can play them. The child will feel your attention and support, and thanks to this, he will be drawn into useful entertainment with his head. Constructors If in our childhood there were only iron constructors, where with the help of screws and nuts it was possible to assemble different objects, now there are a huge number of different types of constructors for children. Here you will find the famous Lego, and Mageom (made of rubber tubes), and wooden constructors, from which you can create cars and airplanes. In a word, for every taste and color. If the boy is not very assiduous and does not like to dig into the details, thinking about how to connect them into a model, then at first you will have to help him. As soon as the first masterpiece comes out from under his hands, he will certainly want to try again. Only if you manage to interest the child, then soon he will begin to assemble models on his own. Encyclopedias Whatever one may say, a book still remains the best gift. Especially for a boy who wants to know everything in the world. Children's encyclopedias are very colorful and entertaining, they are designed in such a way as to really interest the young reader. And, of course, the knowledge gained from this smart book will definitely help your child study better. After all, in addition to the new information that the boy will gain from the encyclopedia, the child will definitely develop memory, imaginative thinking and curiosity.
To be beautiful and neat
Tell me honestly, do you like men?who know how to take care of their appearance? If not, then try to instill in your child a sense of beauty and style. Of course, you should not be too fanatical about this issue, but it is necessary to teach a boy to look neat and attractive from childhood. Shower gels and shampoos Now on sale you can find a lot of different bathing sets, where the packages have children's favorite heroes from cartoons drawn on them. Here you have Spider-Man, Ben Ten, and Bakugan. Any boy, even if he does not particularly appreciate water procedures, will be happy to use a gel or shampoo with the face of his favorite hero drawn on it. Moreover, boys love to imitate their elders, and bathing with "adult" soap accessories for them means being like their dad. Children's toilet water Do you think that children's toilet water is only for girls? You are wrong! And for boys you can find many multi-colored bottles with a pleasant-smelling liquid, on which cool adult cars are drawn. Toilet water for children does not contain alcohol, but it smells nice and allows the child to feel really attractive. And such a gift is inexpensive: toilet water with a picture of a Ferrari or Lamborghini on the bottle will cost you 250-300 rubles. Chain with a pendant For the holiday, you can buy your child an elegant chain with a keychain. You can buy him a silver or gold chain, but do not forget that children are very active and can easily tear and lose jewelry. In any case, such a chain should be light and durable, its alloy should not contain nickel (it can cause allergies). But you can get by with ordinary jewelry, now it is very fashionable among boys to wear chains with funny pendants. This can be a funny skeleton, a spider, etc. If your child at a young age likes to wear accessories, then this can contribute to the development of his taste and style in the future. When giving a gift to a boy on February 23, it is very important not to offend him. If your child is a typical "nerd" who likes to sit with a smart book and watch an educational program on TV, then it is not at all necessary to give him sports equipment. It is unlikely that you will "remake" him this way, rather you will hint that you are not happy with his physical form. In the same way, you should not give a future athlete a purely intellectual toy - he simply will not appreciate it. A holiday is a time of expectation of joy and gifts, so try to delight the boy by choosing the most necessary and interesting gift for him. We recommend reading:
